Donald Trump has ordered Canadian products pushed out of the U.S. federal government procurement market, escalating a tariff dispute with Canada.

Canada had brought into force retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on U.S. goods. Trump responded shortly afterward by directing action against Canadian products in the Multiple Award Schedule procurement system.

In a post on Truth Social on the 8th, local time, Trump said the measures would remain until Canada guaranteed “complete and fair reciprocal treatment” for American farmers and businesses.
